Low Acid Infrared Roasted Coffee: A Healthier Brew Backed by Science

Discover Why Toomer’s Coffee Roasters Is the Best Choice for Health-Conscious Coffee Lovers

If you’ve been searching for the healthiest coffee for acid reflux, gut health, or chronic inflammation, you’re not alone. Coffee lovers everywhere are turning to low acid, infrared roasted coffee as a smarter, stomach-friendly alternative to traditional brews.

At Toomer’s Coffee Roasters, we believe your daily cup should do more than energize—it should elevate your wellness. Thanks to advances in roasting technology and growing scientific evidence, it’s clear: low acid coffee that’s infrared roasted may offer powerful health benefits, from supporting heart and liver function to reducing the risk of diabetes.

☕ What Makes Infrared Roasted Low Acid Coffee So Special?

Not all coffee is created equal. Traditional high-temperature roasting often results in bitter compounds and sharp acids that can trigger acid reflux, bloating, or gut sensitivity.

That’s why Toomer’s uses infrared roasting, a cleaner and more controlled method that:

Reduces harmful acids
Preserves natural antioxidants
Eliminates burnt, bitter flavors
Delivers a smoother, low acid coffee experience

Our low acid coffee beans are easier on your stomach—while still rich in flavor and full of health-boosting compounds.

✅ Health Benefits of Low Acid Coffee Proven by Science
(See citations below 👇)

1. Supports Healthy Blood Sugar Levels and Reduces Type 2 Diabetes Risk

Harvard and UCLA researchers found that coffee increases SHBG (sex hormone-binding globulin), which helps regulate blood sugar and hormones.

🧪 One large study found that increasing coffee consumption by just 1.7 cups daily led to an 11% lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

Why it matters: Our low acid coffee is gentler on digestion, making it a better choice for people managing insulin resistance or metabolic syndrome.

2. May Lower Risk of Parkinson’s Disease

A U.S. study confirmed that higher coffee intake correlates with significantly reduced Parkinson’s disease risk. Even more compelling: caffeine helped improve motor function in those already living with Parkinson’s, according to McGill University.

✅ Infrared roasted coffee like ours delivers these neuroprotective effects without triggering the jitters or stomach irritation often associated with traditional roasts.

3. Protects Liver Health and Reduces Liver Cancer Risk

Italian researchers reported a 40–50% lower risk of liver cancer in regular coffee drinkers. Other studies show that coffee helps prevent cirrhosis, even in people who consume alcohol.

☕ Even low acid decaf coffee may support liver health by reducing enzyme levels—proving the benefits extend beyond caffeine alone.

4. Promotes Cardiovascular Health

Coffee in moderation can lower the risk of heart failure. A study from Harvard and Beth Israel showed that 2–4 cups of coffee daily reduced heart failure risk by 11%.

❤️ Our specialty grade low acid coffee provides these cardiovascular benefits without increasing blood pressure or palpitations—a common problem with high-acid blends.

5. Other Emerging Health Benefits of Low Acid Coffee

Scientific research continues to explore how coffee may:

Reduce chronic inflammation
Support healthy gut microbiome
Protect against colorectal cancer
Reduce risk of multiple sclerosis
Extend overall longevity

Toomer’s gentle infrared roasting process makes these benefits more accessible—especially for those with sensitive stomachs or inflammatory conditions.
